주당 1시간. Weekly materials will be posted in the classroom, with most being digital-friendly and a select few requiring printing. For those who prefer not to print, PDFs will be available to view on your device. Brief, independent assignments will often extend outside classroom time due to our packed agenda. Every learner will get at least one week to complete assignments and will receive advanced notice for larger projects. Homework, necessary for a deeper understanding, will be light—expect about 30 to 60 minutes per week. It's important to note that learners have varying speeds and styles of learning, and this may reflect in the time taken to complete tasks. Completing these assignments diligently on one's own time will not only reinforce the material discussed in class but will also prepare learners for more engaging and productive class experience. For digital worksheets, please refer to the 'Materials' section, which contains a list of third-party websites where they can be accessed.학습 평가
Upon request and prior to the start of the course, assessments can be conducted throughout the course to evaluate learner progress and understanding.

Learners will embark on a comprehensive journey through the medieval world (approx. 476 CE - 1500 CE), exploring the complexities of European feudalism, the brilliance of the Islamic Golden Age, and the disciplined societies of Japanese samurai. The course will delve into the transformative Chinese dynasties from the Sui to the Ming, which introduced significant advancements in bureaucracy, culture, and technology. We'll also explore the far-reaching impacts of the Mongol Empire, whose unprecedented expansion under leaders like Genghis Khan connected and influenced diverse regions across Eurasia. The curriculum will highlight the Vikings' extensive voyages and societal contributions, extending from the North Atlantic to the heart of medieval Europe. ************************************************************************************************* -In this class, active participation plays a crucial role in fostering meaningful engagement and learning. Learners are strongly encouraged to actively contribute to discussions, share their perspectives, and ask questions. Additionally, to promote critical thinking and facilitate in-class interactions, it's important to use the chat feature sparingly. While the chat is suitable for quick questions or clarifications, lengthy answers or discussions are best reserved for our face-to-face interactions. -It is crucial for learners to be punctual and arrive on time for this class. While late arrivals will be allowed to join and participate from the moment they arrive, it is important to note that due to time constraints, we will not be able to restart simulations or catch up on activities for latecomers. To ensure the smooth progression of the class and maximize the learning experience for all participants, punctuality is strongly encouraged. ************************************************************************************************* We'll trace Europe's progression from feudal turmoil to nation-state formation, delving into power struggles that defined political and religious realms. Learners will investigate pivotal events like the Reconquista, the Hundred Years' War, and the War of the Roses for their remarkable influence on cultural and national identities. The narrative unfolds further with the Crusades and the Black Plague's ramifications, alongside the sophisticated societies of Mesoamerica and the majestic West African empires, to appreciate humanity's resourcefulness. Transitioning to the Early Modern period, spanning from approximately 1450 CE to 1815 CE, learners will dive into a transformative era marked by groundbreaking events and ideas. The journey begins with the Renaissance, where artists like Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo, alongside thinkers such as Machiavelli, sparked a cultural and intellectual revival across Europe, laying the foundation for modern Western thought. We will also explore the Mughal and Ottoman empires, contrasting these vibrant cultural powerhouses with their European contemporaries, showcasing their unique contributions to art, architecture, and governance. Each week, learners will find all required materials posted in the classroom, with most being digital-friendly and a select few requiring printing. For those who prefer not to print, PDFs will be available to view on your device. Although I aim to provide enough in-class time for activities, given time limits, several brief assignments will require independent completion. Understanding our learners' busy lives, I provide ample time, at least one week, for the completion of each task and extended notice for projects. Participants may join the course at any time, as we will offer a quick summary of relevant information from previous sessions to ensure all learner understanding. *********Full Course Outline********* (Current schedule with dates listed below) Medieval World History Week 1: Invasions From Every Corner Week 2: Vikings & Birth of Feudalism Week 3: Feudalism, Manor Life & the Roman Catholic Church Week 4: Golden Age of Islam Week 5: The Crusades, Reconquista & Spanish Inquisition Week 6: West African Empires Week 7: Byzantine Empire & Kievan Rus'/Early Russia Week 8: Hundred Years' War & Emergence of Nation-States Week 9: Black Death Week 10: Wars of the Roses Week 11: Feudal Japan Week 12: Medieval China & the Mongols Week 13: Mesoamerican Civilizations Week 14: Submission & presentation of Medieval Moments Projects** Early Modern World History Week 15: European Renaissance Week 16: European Renaissance Week 17: European Reformation Week 18: English Reformation Week 19: The Ottoman Empire Week 21: The Mughal Empire Week 22: Absolutism Introduction Week 23: Age of Expansion and Isolation Week 24: Age of Expansion and Isolation Week 25: Submission & presentation of Absolute Monarch Projects** Week 26: Enlightenment and Scientific Revolution Week 27: American Revolution Week 28: French Revolution Week 29: Reign of Terror & Nationalist Revolutions Week 30: Napoleon & The Congress of Vienna Week 31: Submission & Presentation of Peeps Diorama Project** *********2024 Wednesday Schedule********* Medieval World History Week of 11/11: Emergence of Nation States & the 100 Years War Week of 11/18: War of the Roses & Feudal Japan Week of 11/25: No Class Week of 12/2: War of the Roses & Medieval China/the Mongols Week of 12/16: Presentation of Medieval Moments Projects *December 18 - January 3: No Classes Week of 1/6/2025: Mesoamerica - Aztecs, Maya & Inca Week of 1/13/2025: Mesoamerica - Aztecs, Maya & Inca Week of 1/20/2025: European Renaissance Week of 1/27/2025: European Renaissance Week of 2/3/2025: European Reformation *Week of 2/10/2025: No Class Week of 2/17/2025: English Reformation Week of 2/24/2025: The Ottoman Empire Week of 3/3/2025: The Ottoman & Mughal Empires Week of 3/10/2025: Absolutism Introduction Week of 3/17/2025: Age of Expansion and Isolation Week of 3/24/2025: Age of Expansion and Isolation Week of 3/31/2025: Submission & presentation of Absolute Monarch Projects** *********2024 Tuesday Schedule********* Medieval World History Week of 11/11: West African Empires Week of 11/18: Byzantine Empire & Kievan Rus/Early Russia Week of 11/25: Emergence of Nation States & the 100 Years War Week of 12/2: The Black Death Week of 12/9: War of the Roses & Feudal Japan Week of 12/16: War of the Roses & Medieval China/the Mongols *December 18 - January 3: No Classes Week of 1/6/2025: Feudal Japan Week of 1/13/2025: Mesoamerican Civilizations Week of 1/20/2025: Mesoamerican Civilizations Week of 1/27/2025: Mesoamerican Civilizations Week of 2/3/2025: Presentation of Medieval Moments Projects *Week of 2/10/2025: No Class Week of 2/17/2025: European Renaissance Week of 2/24/2025: European Renaissance Week of 3/3/2025: European Reformation Week of 3/10/2025: English Reformation Week of 3/17/2025: The Ottoman Empire Week of 3/24/2025: The Ottoman & Mughal Empires Week of 3/31/2025: Absolutism Introduction **Medieval Moments Project: To showcase their understanding of Medieval Europe, Japan & China, the civilizations of Mesoamerica, and/or the empires of West Africa, learners will embark on a creative experience by crafting a short story, graphic novel, comic strip, or a series of memes that vividly depict life in their chosen culture. **'Who's the Worst?' Absolute Monarch Project: In this distinctive activity, learners will engage in a friendly competition to determine the most notorious absolute ruler in the early modern era. Equipped with resources provided by the teacher and, with adult approval, the option to conduct further research, learners will be tasked with creating an engaging presentation that showcases their chosen or assigned monarch. The presentation can take various forms, such as Google Slides, a video, a skit, a play, or even a puppet show. It should encompass a brief biography of the ruler and emphasize the specific aspects that justify their selection as the worst i.e. 'the most absolute ruler.' Please note: The specific requirements and guidelines all both projects will be provided in class. ************************************************************************************************* While my courses can be taken in any order based on individual preferences and needs, I would highly recommend taking them in chronological order. This sequencing allows for a comprehensive understanding of the subject matter and enhances the learning experience. Therefore, I suggest following this chronological order for optimal learning: World History: Ancient & Classical Civilizations World History: Medieval & Early Modern Era World History: Modern Era, Cold War & Beyond By following this chronological order, learners can gradually build upon their knowledge and develop a well-rounded understanding of the subject matter. They can trace the evolution of ideas, events, and societies over time, which fosters a more coherent and interconnected understanding of the subject. However, I understand that individual circumstances and preferences may influence the order in which courses are taken. Ultimately, it is important to choose the sequencing that aligns best with your learning goals and interests. ***Note on Teaching Style and Learner Participation: This class thrives on active student interaction and participation. The teaching methods, including simulations and critical thinking activities, are designed to engage and inspire. However, the success of these interactive sessions largely depends on learner involvement. Should active participation prove challenging, we may transition to a lecture format to ensure all essential material is thoroughly covered. I encourage all learners to join in, share their thoughts, and contribute to a dynamic learning environment, making the educational journey enriching for everyone.

The study of world history encompasses a wide range of topics, including some sensitive subjects from the past such as war, slavery, racism, religion, and genocide. In this course, it is important to approach these topics with sensitivity and respect.
Religion will be discussed solely in its historical context, focusing on its influence on societies and events throughout history. The aim is to provide learners with an understanding of how religion shaped various civilizations without promoting any particular religious beliefs.
To foster a comprehensive understanding, learners will be exposed to multiple perspectives through the use of peer-reviewed and scholarly sources. Critical and reflective thinking will be encouraged, allowing students to analyze historical events, conflicts, security issues, religious influences, and economic factors from different angles.
Discussions in the classroom will be closely moderated, ensuring a balanced and unbiased approach. The teacher will facilitate discussions, encourage participation, and monitor the conversations to maintain a secular standpoint that respects all viewpoints.
When relevant, viewpoints from marginalized groups will be explored, providing a broader understanding of history from different social, cultural, and ethnic perspectives. This approach promotes inclusivity and helps learners develop empathy and a deeper appreciation for diverse experiences.
Great care will be taken to present the content in an age-appropriate manner, ensuring that the material is accessible, respectful, and suitable for the maturity level of the learners.
